The Greater Washington Sports Alliance is hosting it’s 6th annual SneakerBall gala on September 15, honoring the best of sports in the greater Washington, DC region, and for the first time, voting for the organization’s SneakerBall Awards has been opened to the public.

The categories cover athletic performance, franchise leadership, community sponsorship and media coverage, but the one that attracted our attention was “Best Team Mascot,” in which Teddy Roosevelt got the nomination over actual Nationals mascot Screech.
